2:00 am
the stakes are high for egypt under the world's only new constitution that has already told the nation apart by sparking a new wave of outrage and deadly street but. in the tone of her kicks held in the u.s. with twenty six people killed in a spree shooting most of them pupils up to ten. deaths prices austerity quiets and now seemingly a calorie crisis britain's prince spiraling food costs mean that healthy options are out of their reach. international news life from moscow this is with me thanks for joining us egyptians
2:01 am
are deciding the fate of their brand new constitution which has divided the nation and turns the streets in the country's key cities into battlefields a chorus of critics have pushed for their referendums delays saying that these lawmakers led document is for the old and not representative of the population cairo based reporter belcher has more for us after three weeks of political turmoil that seen mass rallies against the president also bloody scenes in the streets of egypt's major cities overnight the military apparently beefed up security at the polling stations ready for people to come and vote so they of course have been called in by the president to secure the nation during this time of political unrest and the referendum we expect are hundreds of thousands of police officers and soldiers in the streets today ensuring that the scenes are calm this comes after violent scenes yesterday on friday and on xandra egypt's second city which saw clashes between rival pro. so it is
2:02 am
a court of the constitution those against it including groups wielding machetes. also iron rods and around about nineteen injured and possible dead we haven't had that confirmed yet this of course follows several weeks worth of violence seats in the streets of cairo the referendum is actually being held across two days as there are not so sufficient number of judges to supervise the process this the opposition forces say is a major problem and could open up the referendum to vote rigging in addition civil society groups here questioning how that is possible for them to observe the elections to for electoral fraud since the head of the constituent assembly who drafted the constitution is also the head of the national human rights council who will be overseeing the observation of the polling stations the constitution itself is a major point of contention also for opposition forces they have said that it is written by islamist dominated constituent assembly of to be somebody when this mass will
2:03 am
cross by liberal leftist and church and therefore it will only enforce a religious state it also they said would impose a presidential dictatorship and neglect key rights and freedoms of expression so this constitution they say should be rewritten the constituent assembly should be reforged so we'll have to see with the results of the referendum the future of egypt's. deep division between egypt's opposition is another reason why the vote on the referendum is unlikely to reflect the attitudes of the public says journalist and middle east analyst ahmed fatah. morsi is not showing any signs of flexibility he's not showing any signs of building consensus a year's shown to be a very stubborn person regardless of the outcome of the referendum the scene in egypt right now it's indicative that there is going to be him as.
2:04 am
playing with the results there is already reports about money substances being given to poor people to encourage them to go out and vote favorably with yes for the constitution and on the other side the egyptians are still divided into different groups and democratization of the borders are not going as it should have been going so it's not really representative of the nations when or of the consensus the truth have been existing turkey's taking the chance to abandon old friendship to satisfy her inhibitions and how this washington times and syria's president assad helping to win western support and a possible hold in syria as a blind eye taking tunnel complex got that report. as one of the worst school shootings in u.s.
2:05 am
history twenty six people gunned down and if you ask primary school in connecticut twenty of them young children pupils have tried to hide from the killer in classrooms and closets but the bloodbath ended only when he turned the gun on himself and woman believed to be his mother was also found at her house and he's going to check out reports now on the massacre of innocent life. there's still lots of questions as to what happened at that elementary school in connecticut the shooter has not been officially identified at this point but according to various reports it was adam lanza twenty year old who went into his mother's kindergarten class she was a teacher at that school and wiped out the entire class twenty children were killed in the carnage eighteen children died at the scene at the hospital those were five year olds six year old small children the shooter also targeted and killed six adults and unless his mother the teacher was also found dead in her home near the school the suspect it's three is the suspected shooter had three guns on him as he
2:06 am
went into the school two handguns and one semiautomatic weapon all reportedly registered to adam lanza's mother a witness said there must have been one hundred rounds fired after killing all these people at a less than reportedly shot himself there has been a number of horrifying shootings at schools in the u.s. in the past but never has there been a rampage that killed this many small children in two thousand and seven a student killed thirty two people at virginia tech we of course remember the columbine massacre in colorado where two students shot and killed thirteen people and injured twenty four but the children killed in connecticut were very very young we heard president obama delivered tearful speech this friday but nevertheless the white house has pretty much dodged questions on its gun policy and those are questions on many people's minds right now but the president did say it's time to take meaningful action to prevent a mess across like this from happening again but what action he did not specify is
2:07 am
the fact of the matter is that getting a gun is fairly easy in the u.s. adam lanza's mother apparently had no problem purchasing and registering story guns one of them a semi automatic weapon and it's a powerful deadly weapon one of the policy goals of president obama was a ban on assault weapons but is thought to be a losing. opposition for any politician in the u.s. to really seriously consider seriously take on the issue attempts to regulate guns inevitably hit a wall and that wall is the second amendment the right of the people to bear arms some states here do have controls over gun possession but again very limited controls the state of illinois for example used to have a ban on concealed weapons but this week a federal court ruling struck down the country's last such poor vision as unconstitutional and ordered the state to craft a law allowing it so much for gun control in the us the state of wisconsin passed out its ban on concealed weapons last year and it seems there is no way of arguing
2:08 am
against the amendment even despite the absolute horrifying and recurring incidents the trunk she once again triggered a wave of criticism that getting your hands on a weapon in america is too easy oh she's elizabeth who went to the white house to see a ninety guns running. many people are taking their concerns to the front of the white house as you can see about one hundred people are gathered here holding signs holding candles trying to make their voices heard saying that now is the time to talk about gun control in the u.s. we spoke to some of the protesters here's what they had to say today we saw a room full of kindergartners slaughtered by a guy who never should have gotten a gun. if our president can't talk about it the issue now as a father of two daughters young daughters i think it's time for him for a gut check in it's there's no more and no more excuses anymore this should not have happened we should have measures in place before this to prevent people from
2:09 am
accessing guns who are not fit to hold them also in my opinion i don't think something that is military grade as an assault rifle i don't think that should be in the hands of anybody it's not a toy and we can't keep our teachers in our children in our school administrators safe and very day we can't keep people who are walking down the streets safe then that should be changed and to resign ourselves to the saying that this is a problem that has a solution is defeatist and we should we should take this on and change what we did hear from press secretary jay carney earlier this morning who said today is not the day to be talking about gun control we also heard a very emotional speech from president obama sending his condolences to the victims to the family is in newtown connecticut he did not talk about the issue of guns or gun control but protesters here say if today is not the day in the wake of this very tragic mass shooting they don't know when that time. and washington liz wall
2:10 am
are too. crude and for the first time i hear more from the side of torture and turn its way behind a german citizen was wrongly detained and sort of minds by members of the u.s. intelligence agency in a way to maintain the sound doctrine. true means in this is true even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds at once but we didn't use the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing
2:11 am
originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones souls imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. to get to one of the five main stars of scrotes engine it imitates the gentle breezes of summer chara whose name means great hunter says he suspects adopt. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument book at the residence up
2:12 am

2:14 am
territory. looks at why turkey's so eager to contain its former friend. he may have treated his command bridge for an apartment in istanbul but retired admiral turner couriered turk still keeps tabs on his country's foreign policy and he doesn't like what he sees like many turkish patriots the admiral believes his country is second fighting common sense and domestic concerns from western interests. turkey is looking at the middle east through america's eyes not for a purely turkish perspective for example with syria turkey claims it wants to see democracy in syria but look who it's working with saudi arabia qatar and their democratic credit is one thing for get busier problems with neighbors rule which in chorale has prided itself on for many decades critics now see turkey as dancing to one nation's. place. kill people but that
2:15 am
does not suffice. because. in truth some. people internalize u.s. policy and represent us in the concrete. this is where turkey comes in geographically and culturally it's a great base camp for the likes of the u.s. and nato to take a foothold in their anti acid ambitions it was just two years ago that turkey was calling bashar lost a brother and voting against sanctions on iran its relatively recent change of heart however may not have everything to do with turkey's desire to appease the west and may indeed be part of a plan by turkish officials to become regional if not global major players.
2:16 am
but it was someone who used to go. just truants up in. syria was part of the land but now syria is. a member of united nations. and independent state and turkey hasn't any rights on syria to intervene on syrian policy internal issues there is a conflict for thirty years interest and. we stay committed forces and every day tens of. people young people lost their life from both sides so. if i were in i don't. stop the bloodshed in turkey then think about syria or palestine. yet turkish officials seem to
2:17 am
skirt the issue of their internal problems and instead turn their attention elsewhere syria the case in point but the likes of retired admiral air turkey believe the turkish ship is a cursed one should its present commanders continue on the approved quarters even though. so is the christmas period becoming an obsession to buy as much as you can find out later in the park. or back to church to read the bible to find. to remember what the holiday is supposed to be for people to get every year to be the best christmas ever. dorry said do join or hop in its place in the park the streets of new york. but now britain's biting off less than they can chew it seems as the cost of health of foods move them beyond the reach of many people food prices that have gone up by
2:18 am
a third in just five years leaving many families stuck on cheap prepackaged meals. reports out how stunned at shopping lists are quickly becoming a luxury. do you look at what you're putting in your shopping basket health conscious customers might want to call on their fruit and vege but what if that's getting too expensive for families in the u.k. the cost of that weekly shop has gone up by over a third over the past five years and it's set to get more expensive still among the healthier fresh meat you can find chicken breast for five ninety nine per kilogram and you've got your frozen process as retailing at one twenty nine in some cases now if you're a struggling household with lots of mouths to feed it's a no brainer britain is now in the midst of a nutritional recession to go hand in hand with the financial one over a million children in the u.k. a growing without a daily healthy meal a coalition government provide free fruits and veggies to schools and they
2:19 am
supplement those on the lower income but it looks like the cheap meal deals are often more appealing than the government health warnings health campaigners say it's time for the government to several new plan to get britain struggling households to acquire not just the taste but also the means for a healthier diet there's always there's a lot more waiting for you at our web site including a look at both whose love for animals goes to fall and the german government passes a little bonding best to ignite a debate over just use moral compass is pointing in the right direction. and don't afraid to get dirty had to move good later a young woman in russia dives into a rubbish to retrieve the make up chair accidentally threw away so read all about the book pray.

the european. in riots has made its first ever ruling that the cia is guilty of torture in a case involving a german citizen the court found that. he was illegally abducted tortured and sodomized by u.s. agents after being mistaken for an al qaeda member nine years ago the u.s. is now being sued for an apology and compensation but also and historian valentinus has that this is unlikely to happen as this cia operates. though cia officer. will be well every. prison a prison term even in united states of convicted of a crime these people are simply above the law the only thing that the cia does is to conduct illegal activities which is why it's above the law it's businesses doing
2:21 am
things that are illegal so the fact that it's. europe or asia or south america or any place to do it legal there is a call for gratian of what it. is not a pro bill of. those things without prior authorization from congress the president is the national security officer everything that goes policy. on the light and. christmas is a time when shops have to do some brisk business but he's a resident asked new yorkers if the festive spirit is turning into a shopaholic addiction. why have the holidays become such hellish days this week let's talk about that it's a commercial thing now everyone's sent to spend money it's not about what it really should be about how did that happen is that the media telling us to buy buy buy a absolutely it's everyone with their sales and absolutely i live on what people
2:22 am
buy you know and i'm an independent sales rep so i depend on it so you're happy with this christmas i'm happier this christmas i sell luxury goods as long as people keep buying into i have a holiday that's it a way to stop that would be to go back to church to read the bible and to find faith and to remember what the holiday is supposed to be for what about people of other religions and it is there anything for them i said i said to find religion. is there saving for them i believe in christianity but i think it's important that whether it's christiane to be or not that you have morals and values based on religious faith do you think there's a war in christmas oh i don't think there's a war on christmas i just think people shouldn't think that every year has to be the best christmas ever is that what we do we set our expectations too high think we do i think that we should just enjoy it that each year should be a nice christmas with
2:23 am
a couple of presents maybe full of press that's right along with the feeling of safety and community with all these holidays also remind people believe or not it's just my opinion holidays remind people of their own mortality that we're not going to be around here very much longer and our lives are very short and because we tend to remember the people who have gone on the holidays as well and that's why we p.c. the holidays we just want to feel safe we want to feel like i'm extending my time here a little bit more and i want you to believe what i believe yes and maybe as someone others someone else's beliefs makes us feel better and that's exactly what we're taking a chill doses of approaching this fiscal cliff is not as much about. shopping this year as all the rest of our fifty nine years the sixty of you are going to be a little bit different how you can do it differently. i have to say but he was going to be on facebook. just watching people make christmas and calling it a day like whether or not the world has lost its holiday spirit the bottom line is it wouldn't hurt any of us to take a look inside to find our own private reason to celebrate this thing then.
2:24 am
